As mentioned in my previous post : Guan Yin Temple: 开财库 借红包, 26th of the 1st lunar month is the GuanYin Open Treasury Day (开财库). You can check out that post to know more about this event.
However with the recent outbreak of COVID-19 and with the DORSCON level in Singapore raised to ORANGE, Kwan Im Tong at Waterloo street have announced that the event which falls on 19 Feb 2020 has been cancelled. Note that even though the event is cancelled, the temple will still be open to public. So what is going to happen is that you can still return angbao by dropping it into the box at your own convenience but there will not be a borrow angbao event originally scheduled to take place on 19 Feb 2020. The main purpose of cancellation of the event is to avoid mass gathering to minimize the risk of further transmission of the virus in the community. At this difficult times we should all play our part to reduce transmission of the virus in the community by stepping up on our personal hygiene and to see the doctor if we are not feeling unwell. So I hereby wish everyone good health and lets look forward to the event next year :)
